As part of the Agricultural Trade Forum, Christine and Franz Grimme were given a special honor on September 11, 2024, at the BayArena in Leverkusen. Due to their outstanding business accomplishments, both were chosen as the “Agricultural Entrepreneurs of the Year.”

Christine and Franz Grimme received unanimous votes from the impartial jury, which was composed of well-known agricultural leaders.

“Their work, their commitment, and their tireless innovative strength have not only changed agriculture but also the lives of many people around the world,” Bernard Krone, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Bernard Krone Group from Spelle, emphasized in the entertaining laudatory speech.

Christine and Franz Grimme are the first winners to receive this prestigious award as an entrepreneurial couple.

“We are delighted to receive this award and accept it on behalf of the entire GRIMME team. This success would not have been possible without our dedicated workforce. We are still highly motivated to work in the company and to support our sons in their extensive tasks, which gives us great pleasure,” Christine and Franz Grimme concluded.
